Hi,
recently I got notice about our (from my point of view) very
user-unfriendly way for editing Input Fields in Writer.
Currently, you can not place the cursor into an Input Field which in
general is shown with a grey background when Menu View - Field Shading
is on. If you click on the Input Field, a modal dialog pops up. In this
dialog you can edit the Input Field's content. On confirmation of the
dialog the Input Field's content is changed in the text document. To
edit the next Input Field you need to click on it. There is also a
special key shortcut - namely Shift-Ctrl-F9. This key shortcut opens the
Input Field content editing dialog for the first field. This time the
dialog has a Next button by which you can confirm your change and switch
directly to the next Input Field. A Previous button is not available. By
Murphys law the dialog hides most of the time the Input Field in the
text document.
I have got the opinion that such an editing experience is bad,
especially, if the document is a form which makes use of a lot of Input
Fields to be filled by the user.
See issue https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=33737.
Kind regards
